OPERATIONAL USE

Cab serial rapist of over 85 women. ANPR information placed the taxi at various locations in the capital.We were given dates and times by our victims and if ANPR information put the vehicle in the vicinity this added weight to our case that he was in the area at the time of the offence.

This relates to the fatal stabbing at Shadans nightclub in December 2006. ANPR data was used to identify two of the vehicles used by three of the suspects.

• The core role of the CTSA is to o identify and assess local critical sites that might be

vulnerable to terrorist or extremist attack; o devise and develop security plans to minimise

impact on that site and the surrounding community.

• Additionally, the CTSA will promote awareness of the terrorist threat.
